1950s Rock ‘n Roll Prom Edition

(Soft rock ’n’ roll, doo-wop harmonies, pastel-glow nostalgia.)

A tender, vintage reimagining of Let Me Be Yours, wrapped in the warm glow of 1950s prom romance.
This edition blends early rock ’n’ roll sweetness, soft doo-wop harmonies, brushed drums, retro guitar twang and honey-smooth vocals — a sound made for slow-dancing in neon-lit diners at midnight.

Every track is reborn with:
🎙️ satin vocal stacks
🎸 gentle rockabilly guitars
💗 doo-wop harmonies
🥁 soft shuffle beats
🌙 dreamy retro strings
🎵 classic heart-on-sleeve storytelling

The whole album feels like leaning across a milkshake, catching someone’s eyes for the very first time.
Nostalgic, innocent, romantic — but with that modern Connor Charles warmth glowing right through it.

This is love… the 1950s way.


1, Let Me Be Yours -  1950s Rock’n’Roll Prom Edition

Verse 1
Morning cracks open with that tender gold,
I step toward the doorway, courage loud and bold.
I trace my reflection with a steady hand,
Then I walk through the moment like I own the land.
I carry my stories with a cleaner thread,
I sort through the echoes that once filled my head.
Every inward whisper lights a softer spark,
Every gentle promise guides me through the dark.

Pre-Chorus 1
I lift my heart with deliberate choice,
I give my truth a living voice.
I honor each chapter with unshaken sight,
Then I rise through the haze toward widening light.

Chorus
Risebright—every echo turns warm in my chest,
Risebright—I choose life, I choose depth, I choose rest.
I gather the moments that strengthen my stride,
I pull every blessing right here to my side.
Risebright—every scar takes a softer shape,
Risebright—I keep walking toward my landscape.
I hold my story with a gentle might,
I claim my life and I risebright.

Verse 2
I laugh with my people at the end of the day,
We trade little victories along the way.
I keep the small joys close in my palm,
They settle my pulse with an honest calm.
I teach my children how to live unmasked,
How to lift their truth when the world feels tasked.
We walk our journeys with whole hearts lit,
We turn our shadows into sacred fit.

Pre-Chorus 2
I clear the clutter from the corners I keep,
I free my mind so my dreams stand deep.
I speak my wants with a brighter tone,
Then I build my tomorrow with steps I own.

Chorus
Risebright—every echo turns warm in my chest,
Risebright—I choose life, I choose depth, I choose rest.
I gather the moments that strengthen my stride,
I pull every blessing right here to my side.
Risebright—every scar takes a softer shape,
Risebright—I keep walking toward my landscape.
I hold my story with a gentle might,
I claim my life and I risebright.

Rise Bright

Turn Off The Lights (Made Famous by Teddy Pendergrass)

Teddy (Expanded Edition)

Come Go with Me

Teddy Pendergrass was an indisputable soul legend when he made his Elektra/Asylum debut in 1984. The former Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes lead vocalist and chart-topping solo superstar’s career had been stalled by a 1982 car accident, in which he suffered permanent paralysis from the waist down. After intensive physical therapy, he signed with Asylum and returned with the triumphant “LOVE LANGUAGE.” The album – which included the top 10 AC hit single, “Hold Me,” with vocals from a young Whitney Houston – was later featured prominently as the evocative soundtrack to Alan Rudolph’s 1984 film, Choose Me.

“JOY,” released in 1988, reached #2 on Billboard’s “Top R&B Albums” chart – his highest placing since “TEDDY” in 1979 – with two top 3 R&B hits in “2 A.M.” and the stirring title track. “Joy” proved a #1 smash, Teddy’s first solo chart-topper in a decade.

Pendergrass scored his third career R&B #1 with 1991’s “It Should Have Been You,” featured on his 11th studio album, “TRULY BLESSED.” Teddy’s third and final Elektra release, 1993’s “A LITTLE MORE MAGIC,” saw the singer collaborating with fellow stars like Barry White and labelmate Gerald Levert.

Teddy Pendergrass retired from the music business in 2006. Sadly, he passed away three years later following surgery for colon cancer.
